After Gipsy Danger's fight both Kaiju, Hermann is sent to find Newton. ĭuring Otachi and Leatherback's attacks, Hermann states that Leatherback's electromagnetic pulse discharge is a sign of weaponization and not a natural progression of evolution. Hermann assists Pentecost in providing Newton information on the black marketeer, Hannibal Chau, in order to get another Kaiju Brain to Drift with. The Kaiju are used to weaken and eradicate humanity so that their masters can inhabit Earth. Newton explains that the Kaiju are controlled by sentient beings looking to colonize the Earth after their failed attempt during the Triassic era. Hermann regards Pentecost as he explains his deal with Chau. Pentecost orders Hermann to shut up and tells Newton to continue talking. Despite the compelling evidence, Hermann dismisses his claims, which in turn triggers a shouting match between the two. Hermann and Pentecost return to the lab, Newton tries to explain what he saw in the Drift, revealing that the Kaiju are actually attacking under orders. Hermann panics and heads for LOCCENT Mission Control to get Pentecost. However, when he returns to the lab, he finds Newton Drifting with the Kaiju brain with a homemade Pons System. As the officers leave the lab, Hermann belittles his colleague for wasting his life being a Kaiju Groupie, stating that even if he had the equipment, he'd most likely kill himself in the attempt. Pentecost decides to go with Hermann's proposal instead. When Newton suggests that he Drift with a Kaiju brain, neither Hermann or Pentecost believe that it’s possible. Instead, Newton shows Pentecost the information he gathered from studying Kaiju samples, despite Hermann's advice that he would only end up embarrassing himself. Newton, however, dismisses Hermann's conclusions because they are based on numbers. However, Gottlieb believes that the increased traffic would cause the Breach to become stable enough that a thermonuclear bomb could be sent through its "throat" and collapse its structure. Hermann speculates that the next attacks would likely occur in days and hours before the PPDC is faced with a " Double Event" and "Triple Event." Hermann reminds them that the last Kaiju attack by Mutavore on the Kaiju Wall in Sydney, Australia, was a week. Sometime later, he debriefs Herc Hansen and Pentecost on the increasing frequency of the Kaiju attacks recounting that the attacks used to come every twenty-four weeks, then twelve weeks, followed by four weeks.
Hermann explains the decreasing time between Kaiju attacks. Newton insults Hermann by using his first name and mocking his accent. When Newton speaks enthusiastically to Raleigh about the Kaiju and his desire to meet one, Hermann apologizes on his friend's behalf and dismisses him as a " Kaiju Groupie". The two join Stacker Pentecost, Mako Mori and Raleigh Becket in the elevator. Hermann arrives at the Hong Kong Shatterdome with Newton where they bring tanks of Kaiju organs to the lab.
With eight months of funding left in the Jaeger Program and most of the Shatterdomes closed down, Hermann and Newton are the last of the research division. By 2025, the Jaeger Program is considered a failure and is shut down by the United Nations.
Gottlieb's expertise includes predicting the number of attacking Kaiju and determining the precise time and location of their next attack. He works alongside Newton to determine the weaknesses of the Kaiju and is responsible for determining the exact physics and nature of the breach. In 2020, he and Newton are assigned to the Hong Kong Shatterdome.

Hermann is said to have written the programming code for the Mark-1 series of Jaegers. However, when they come to face to face, they immediately dislike each other and presumably parted ways. In 2017, Hermann decides to meet Newton in person. In 2015, Hermann joins the Jaeger Academy. The two maintain a tight rapport through their letters for the next three years. During the start of the Kaiju attacks and the formation of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps, Hermann begins to communicate with Newton Geiszler through written correspondence. Hermann is twenty-four at the time of the AugKaiju attack in San Francisco. Īt some point, he married an English model named Vanessa, who is expecting to give birth to their first child in April of 2025. He completed his engineering and applied sciences studies at TU in Berlin. However, early on, he displayed an aptitude for abstract mathematics. Hermann is the third of four children born to Dr.
